No Wifi

Flashed 2.1 yesterday all went well but no wifi. Tried crusecontrl's MO found here all went well but still no wifi. Tried the JVT modem without success as well, so went back to JK3 as JVT 3G connection was no bueno. Any suggestions as to where else I should be looking? Did not see this issue in the known bug list.

Captivate Modem

For anyone who is experiencing problems with their call quality on the Captivate (I897) here is a modem that works:

www.mediafire.com/?bps9bw65jno2a4o

This appears to be one of the only modems I could flash that did not sound distorted (garbled, low, static) in any manner. Only downside is that the cell signal strength is slightly weaker than the other I897 modems I tried. Sound quality is more important than cell signal strength.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexvtr:
Speaking of modems, anyone has a suggestion for a modem that works good in Canada (if in Montreal, even better)?

Sound clarity is fine but my signal is quite weak and outside the city, I can't get 3G.

Also, where can I find a trustworthy source for the stock modem if I need to revert back to it after some experiments?

Thanks!

Also, is the procedure mentioned in the how-to (making sure the reception is poor, therefore forcing the band in 850) is still valid?

I posted this question in the original thread for ICS. I installed ICS RC 2.1 this morning over cm7/miui rebooted cleared the cache and rebooted again. The soft buttons have only worked a handful of times. I'm using the Glitch kernel it came bundled with. Any help would be great. Thanks adzidek for pointing me to this thread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
You need to switch the kernel. Either flash a newer glitch found at their thread, or flash one of nushor's kernels at ics.darkirc.me

You might need to factory reset, but I know that newer nushor kernels need wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel.

Modem Questions

Is the procedure for flashing modems with this ICS ROM the same as before? Just selecting a modem and flashing in CWM?

I'm running the ICS RC2.11 with Nushor's r3148v kernal for I897 and I897 AT&T GB Bootloaders. Everything works great for me, other than the known issue with the video recording (WIP) and my low cell signal. The sound quality is great on calls, however in areas where I used to get 3-4 bars, I'm lucky to have one colored in. Is this just that ICS reports the signal differently, or should I try swapping modems? Also, I know in the past you had to use the modem that matched your kernel (I897 vs. I9000.) Is that still true? I noticed after flashing Nushor's and finally booting successfully, that I have JVT which is a I9000 modem. I presume then that I just need to use any one of the CM ICS modems for I9000, and to stay away from I897 modems, correct?

I'm sorry if this seems n00bish, I've been flashing ROM's for quite some time, however my experience with modems is not nearly as vast. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

So I'm trying to odin back to stock. But, I can't access download mode. I've tried adb commands, buttons combos, everything, including a USB jig, no go. Is download mode not built into these ICS builds?

How can I access download mode??

I was thinking about flashing to CM7, then access dl mode, then stock. But, can't flash to CM7 due to build.prop errors that I can't overcome (despite making the proper corrections).

I'm out of ideas, and would really appreciate help!

Thanks

Smith

EDIT: found the RC1 zip lying around and flashed that, and it happened to contain a bootloader with download mode. We're good. Thanks

When I say "stable" I mean a "not-RC" version that wouldn't be considered a developer version anymore.

I've been on RC 1.1 since it's release and really like it.

Since I don't have any major issues with it that I can't live with on a daily basis, I never bothered updating to RC2, 3 or 4.

Now with 4.1, seeing the huge list of new features, I wonder what could potentially remain?!? If everything works as the changelog says, I might be tempted to benefit from all the fixes.

Hi! I flashed from 3.1 to 4.1 yesterday and all's been well (I was getting sleep of death with OC and deep idle enabled, but seems fine without)

SystemUI.apk swap

I flashed 4.1 and also flashed one of the battery display mods. I understand from the dev thread that:

My question is can I just pull the systemUI.apk from the 4.1 zip and replace the one that was reverted by the battery mod, or will I bork the phone and just end up reflashing 4.1 again?

Hey, I having the same problem as MrAkai as well. The sleep of death happens 5-6 times a day, with OC and deep idle turned off. But it also randomly reboots into recovery. It just happened when I was in a call, but I usually don't see it happen; I'll just find it in recovery. I've also just had it randomly reboot back to normal mode quite a few times. One day it happened over 10 times. It has been happening since I first flashed RC3, and I am up to RC4.1 now. The sleep of death has been happening on any rom I flash, but the reboot into recovery only happens on the ICSSGS rom.

Any ideas I could try?

Have you tried setting you min frequency to 200
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewolf850:
I have done that on other roms with no results, but I'll give it a try on ics.

I know that *should* fix the sleep of death, but I don't see why the phone would reboot into recovery. Is there any feature in ics that puts the phone into recovery after a specific number of crashes?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daskanda:
I am not sure as to why it does that but i have seen other people posting about that on other threads like the cm9 thread and the icssgs with no real proven answer as to why.... some people reported that fixing their voltages solved it for them using nstools and other just setting the min frequency to 200 solved it..... I personally haven't had any sleep deaths or charge deaths but that might be because I'm OC'd quite a bit to over 1500
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewolf850:
From what I understand, the phone will downclock the processor so low that it can't recover. Raising the threshold prevents it from going so low. I've also heard that it has to do with the battery (Captivate Keep Alive). Some claim its hardware, some say its software. This is my 2nd captivate, and my first one NEVER did that, even with the same roms. So far so good though, however, its tough to test when its so intermittent.

But, what confuses me is why it will boot into recovery, especially when I'm actively using it. It shouldn't downclock the processor when I'm in a call, so something else is going on...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
I've never gotten that unless my voltage is to low. If you been messing with UV, then bump it up a little. Also when you are "sleeping" your cpu can spike to 400mhz, meaning 400, 200 and 100 mhz voltage is messing up. But i would start withh 100 first xD

Hi,

Is anyone else getting pretty lengthy svnet wakelock's?

I've been getting them for around.. 5-10% of my total awake time (from betterbatterystats)

I guess that might not seem like alot, but i've also seen my phone only generate a couple % of these wakelock time's, and seen my battery life significantly improved.

I've had this issue since RC2.1, and now i just recently upped to rc4.2 which is amazing, just this bug, and the autobrightness thing that other ppl have pointed out.

but there was a time when I was prior to 2.1, and even for a bit on 2.1 when i had excellent battery life, with the same apps that i have now, and I know that all the releases are capable of achieving that.. I just don't know what's causing my phone to access the net while my screen is off so much.

and i've done complete wipes and reflashes. although I hadn't tried to go all the way back to stock ginger yet..

Sorry if this has been addressed already. I searched, but couldn't find anything, but maybe my searching sucks.

After flashing from Serendipity VII back to stock, then to Serendipity 6.4, and now to Team ICSSGS, that boot screen is still there. He wants to change it again now. The one he changed it to was a Gingerbread specific logo.
